about

A smorgasbord of musical offerings created during my time at Adult Swim.

'Adult Dot Com Theme' was deemed "depressing": www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBf87hYDG_U

'Hungry For Apples (Van Hagar Version)' was a first attempt for a Rick and Morty spot. We feared Sammy Hagar might sue so we changed it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9YaDobgDg4

'Scootin' Away' was an Adult Swim Small: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4j2TTCIdhY

'On and On and On - On and On and On Reprise - Meeting the Booch' appeared on Daytime Fighting League.

'Ballad of an Associate Writer' was the self-evaluation I gave to my boss at the end of 2016. ("You could've just wrote this out," he replied.)

'The Terrible Cobs' was created after Mike Lazzo challenged me to write an opera based on the Rick and Morty Comic-Con panel. He was joking but I did it anyway. Words by Justin Roiland, Dan Harmon, Ryan Ridley and Spencer Grammer. Orchestrated brilliantly by Brent Busby: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2cCwEP1SiA&ab_channel=AdultSwim

'Desperate Losers' and 'One Dollar at a Time' created for Desperate Losers.

'Song For Geddy Lee', 'Patton Oswalt's Head', 'Microwave', and 'Put Your Halloween Decorations Away' created for Adult Swim bumps.

'Goodbye, Pete Smith' was a parting gift to a Williams Street legend.

'Song of the Sirens' and 'Flying Bear Ballad' appeared on Gemusetto Machu Piccu. NOTE: this version 'Song of the Sirens' is the correct, finished one, not the rough demo that aired during April Fools. (I forgive you, Max.)

'Goodbye Yellow Coin Tank' marks my last song for FishCenter and Adult Swim.

Special thanks to Mason Brown, Brent Busby, Dave Hughes, Peter Karpick, Dana Swanson, Pedro Carreras, Matt Hutchison, Zach White, Michael Cahill (and the Bump team), Max Simonet, Matt Harrigan, Mike Lazzo, Pete Smith, Stephanie Lennox, and of course, The Booch.

In memory of Adult Swim Streams – a true rebel.
